i do not think they are a #1 seed. But sure hope they get one, because I will be fading painter all march long

[unde0087]

In all reality with the transfer portal seeding doesn't really matter anymore. The teams that get hot will beat anyone. We will all see the bracket and say this team has the easiest way but there aren't many easy ones anymore. It is all about how you are playing at the end, UNC proved that last year. Once the tournament starts it doesn't matter if you have a #1 in front of the school name or an #9 seed. There are rarely easy games because even the so called "mid major" teams have players that can go off for 30 and many are old recruits from the old top teams. My two cents. Although you are right with Purdue. Feeding the 7 footers isn't the game anymore. If you don't have elite guards leading the way, you basically have nothing.

[flyingillini]

They will get bounced out in the elite 8 if they are lucky enough to make it there

[jrgum3]

I think Purdue loses in the first weekend because teams will force them to win from the perimeter and that really isn't their strength. Edey is great but teams are going to find a way to slow him down by forcing someone else to beat them.

[unde0087]

Houston and Purdue won't make it out the first two rounds. Guaranteed they will face teams that knock down 12+ triples. And both teams can't score

[pologq]

agree with the above. purdue will be lucky to make sweet 16.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Purdue goes down in round two.

Yep, those guards need to step it up!

Honestly, though, there aren’t many teams playing like a #1, so they prolly get it by default. Houston the only team rolling but they don’t play anyone. Tennessee just lost to two unranked teams before beating Bama. And Bama has a couple bad losses this year, including a 24-pt loss a couple weeks ago to unranked OU. Houston and one of the PAC 12 teams are a lock. The others you can just pick out of a hat.

If there’s ever a year a 5 or 6 seed may win the NCAA tourney, this is it.

Or an 8 or 9 seed.

Tourney will be deep and dangerous.

Final Four will be comprised of #1's, #2's & #3's

[Brock Landers]

Of course

They're as good as anyone

[navyblue81]

I thought maybe Texas deserved a #1…my stupid ass bet them today and they’re losing at home to a 13-13 Oklahoma team. Fml.

[thetrinity]

Painter easy fade ncaas

Big ten easy fade ncaas

End thread

Although in 1/16 game the uncoordinated tall doofus will get so many easy points so that may be a cover

[asiagambler]

Has Purdue EVER done anything in the tournament ?

Going all the way back to Gene Keady, I can't ever remember them getting past the Sweet Sixteen. I remember they were the #1 overall seed once and almost lost to #16 Western Carolina

They’ve gotten to the sweet 16 a lot but can’t ever make it to final 4. Even last year I believe they were a 2 or 3 seed with the rest of their bracket wiped out early and lost to St Peters. They always underachieve. They should win big today though.

[agendaman]

purdue plays northwestern today is only favored by 2 pts.i actually bet nw. to win.also today iowa at -12 vs. ohio state.easy iowa win.

[pavyracer]

Who are 4 #1 seeds? Most teams suck this year. Maybe they should have 8 #2s.

Yup. I don’t usually lay big money for a ML, but I did in this game because I thought it was as sure a lock for an under -1000 ML as you’ll ever get..

for sure, Osu will be in the market for a new head coach soon. that team is a disaster

purdue is so hit or miss. one night they look like the best team and the other they seem 1 dimensional and afraid

Purdue won’t make it very far in the tourney this year.

why the hell didn't i take that Indiana +240 or even better live while they were losing...

They need to win out now

How? They shouldn’t even be a 3! They’re not that good.

The 1s should be Houston, Kansas, UCLA and Bama.

Agree. I mean in the last couplr weeks the were blown out at home to Indiana, got routed in the last 5 minutes by an unranked NW team, got killed by an unranked Maryland team, and lost at Indiana. Sorry Purdue fans but I will surely not be taking your team to go very far this year. All they really have is one player. You shut him down, you shut down Purdue.

Purdue has lost 4-of-6 now, and head to play a desperate Badgers team thursday nite in Madison. I see some still have Purdue as the last #1 seed, I am rooting for it. will fade Painter against the # in each game. Then again? if they get boat raced in WI this week?

It is the same Purdue as always. They always have a 9 footer, who is uncoordinated, surrounding a bunch of 3 point shooters. The Big 10 is dog shit this year which made them look better for most of the season. Painter is always good for an early exit from the dance because his team is Average Joes, like the last 15 years.
